Spinazzola or Olivera Against Como? Allegri's Choice in Defense
Napoli is set to make a change in their defensive line compared to their last match, with the most significant alteration involving Mathías Olivera. According to the Corriere dello Sport, the Uruguayan winger is poised to reclaim his starting position, occupying the left-back spot in the back four instead of Leonardo Spinazzola.
Olivera is expected to return to the starting lineup after beginning the first game against Genoa on the bench. He offers the coach a different profile on the left flank compared to Spinazzola. The former Getafe player, who is more inclined towards defensive duties and overlapping runs, is a strong candidate for a key role in the team's balance, particularly during the non-possession phase.
The rest of Napoli's rear guard remains unchanged. Alex Meret will continue in goal, with captain Di Lorenzo on the right. The central defensive pairing of Amir Rrahmani and Rafa Marin is confirmed for the second consecutive game. Meanwhile, the latest acquisition, Badiashile, remains unavailable for selection. The former Chelsea defender is not yet ready for his debut, as clarified by the coach himself in a press conference: "He's a bit behind, he trained little with the team at Chelsea and now needs a bit more time."
